أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَا: نا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، نا الْخَضِرُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، نا سَيَّارٌ، نا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شُمَيْطٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ،
قَالَ: كَتَبَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ إِلَى أَبِي السَّوَادِ الْعَدَوِيِّ: " أَمَّا بَعْدُ، يَا أَخِي فَاحْذَرِ النَّاسَ وَاكْفِهِمْ نَفْسَكَ، وَلْيَسَعْكَ بَيْتُكَ وَابْكِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ، وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ عَاثِرًا فَاحْمَدِ اللهَ الَّذِي عَافَاكَ، وَلَا تَأْمَنِ الشَّيْطَانَ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكَ مَا بَقِيتَ "
